Road Conditions (Can Honda City 2016 handle it)
NO ISSUES AT ALL for Automatic Car like Honda City 2016
Related to driving skills anybody who visited Nathia Galli twice can easily manage it all you need to know a) where the front tiers of your vehicle is and b) one must not lose control by over speeding. If you do both (a) and (b) it will be piece of cake.
May be I was lucky i didn't encounter big streams while going to chilum chowki and Deosai. They might have dry down by the month of August or there was also no rain while I was there. At only one place I came out of car to see how should I cross the stream and that was between Chilum Chowki and Sheosir Lake and done it quire easily without hurting the bottom of the car.
In the end I would like to thank all who giving me valuable guideline and shared their experiences with special thanks to Mr Naveed/Riaz with out his help I could have taken Naraan N15 route instead of KKH and got myself stuck in Naraan due to landslide between Babuser top and chillas.
Thank again to all friends.
See you again to seek more advice for another trip, till then take care and Allah Hafiz.
P.S: If anybody having any question pls do ask it shall be my pleasure to reply.
